A Cloudflare and OpenAI pilot that brought hundreds of millions of new pages to ChatGPT search, Türkiye's Trade Ministry gaining the power to set installment periods, and Figma making its agent generally available
Today’s 3 verified stories: a joint research pilot that Cloudflare and OpenAI launched in July, run with a participating cohort of roughly 1% of Cloudflare's network, helped OpenAI find and index hundreds of millions of new web pages. An amendment in Türkiye's Official Gazette of October 15, 2026, issue 33401, lets the Ministry of Trade set installment periods, and impose further limits, for sales of goods and services other than housing. At its Config event in India, Figma made the Figma agent on its design canvas generally available, while Specs, which carries design context to coding agents, opened in beta on paid plans. The detailed look at each story, its sources and what it means for your business lives on its own page.
Cloudflare and OpenAI: network signals brought hundreds of millions of new pages to ChatGPT search
In a post dated October 15, 2026 and co-written with OpenAI, Cloudflare published the first results of a joint research pilot the two companies started in July. Run with a participating cohort of about 1% of Cloudflare's total network, the pilot helped OpenAI discover and index hundreds of millions of new web pages. The roles are split: Cloudflare's network produces signals that help OpenAI's search crawler find pages, while OpenAI independently judges how those pages show up in ChatGPT, weighing relevance and usefulness. The team treats requests for missing files, blanket redirects to the homepage and addresses that resolve to duplicate content as wasted crawling. Site owners can manage AI access through Cloudflare's AI Crawl Control.
Türkiye's Trade Ministry gets power to set installment periods and extra limits on retail sales
An amendment published in Türkiye's Official Gazette of October 15, 2026, issue 33401, rewrote Article 12/B of the Regulation on Principles and Rules for Retail Trade and took effect the same day. The Ministry of Trade may now fix installment periods, or impose additional limits, on installment sales of goods and services other than housing, whether or not a negotiable instrument is issued in the sale. Decisions taken under this power will be posted on the Ministry's website and sent to top-level professional organizations. Its rationale is alignment: BDDK, Türkiye's banking regulator, decides installment periods for credit card, shopping loan and consumer finance purchases, and the Ministry wants the other installment methods used in retail to follow those decisions.
Figma makes its agent generally available and gives coding agents design context through Specs
On October 15, 2026, at its Config event in India, Figma announced new features for teams and agents. The Figma agent embedded in the design canvas is now generally available. Specs, a multiplayer container that keeps context and decisions together on the canvas, opened in beta on paid plans, and coding agents can pull a spec through the Figma MCP server. Code layers for code-backed prototypes are in open beta on all plans; Guidelines are in open beta and Code sources in closed beta, and Figma MCP gains 20 new partner integrations. Chief design officer Loredana Crisan told TechCrunch that 17 times as many lines of code are produced now as before, while releases have risen only 1.3 times.
